Why wait on new construction when so much of the work here is already done? Set on three private acres in Grassfield, this modern farmhouse has been completely reworked inside and out, and a detached garage plus whole-house filtration system will both be installed prior to closing. The kitchen centers the main living space with an oversized island and bar, white cabinetry, and a clean, current finish. The renovation continues throughout with new windows, upgraded Hardie Plank siding, a new roof, new water heater, and two new heat pumps with dual-zone HVAC. The primary suite features private porch access, dual closets, and a spa-style bath with a floor-to-ceiling marble-tiled shower. Mature trees and a classic brick fireplace add character against the newer finishes and major system updates. With three acres, a full renovation, major systems already replaced, and a detached garage being completed before closing, this is the kind of property that gives you the space, finish, and function buyers rarely find all in one place.
Pleasant Grove, located between Great Bridge and the North Carolina line, is a rural and residential Chesapeake neighborhood with working farmland and pine-wooded backroads. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Battlefield Blvd S and Pleasant Grove Rd crossroads, where feed stores, roadside produce stands, and small service shops set a practical, country cadence. Homes tend toward ranchers and newer builds on larger lots, with long driveways and wide skies. Two-lane roads and drainage canals trace the landscape, and evenings read quieter than the commercial corridors to the north. Outdoor time centers on nearby waterways and open fields rather than sidewalks.
